| I have never used the neo either and I’m not sure what the diff is between that and the eclipse. I have a High Performance HP-C plus and an Eclipse HP-BCS. Both are very nice, I find myself reaching for my Eclipse more often than not. The .3mm tip on the C plus does not like all paints; the .5mm tip Eclipse can shoot just about anything through it and it can do fine lines. I think that if I could only have one I would get the side feed eclipse. The C’s are nice because they are the easiest to clean, but the time diff is negligible really.

Location: St. John, Indiana | HP-BCS Airbrush — This bottom-feed airbrush features a 0.5 mm needle and nozzle combination.
HP-BS Airbrush — The HP-BS gravity-feed airbrush features a 0.35 mm needle and nozzle combination and a convenient 1/16 oz cup. The improved funnel design of the cup makes for easy cleanup and more efficient paint flow, making it ideal for nail and beauty applications.
HP-CS Airbrush — This gravity-feed airbrush features a unique 0.35 mm needle and nozzle combination for fine-detail spraying, but with high paint-flow capacity. A generous 1/3 oz size cup is designed with a new funnel shape, which makes for easy cleanup and more efficient paint flow. Automotive artists, fine artists, and students will appreciate how well the HP-CS sprays heavier acrylics and textile colors, while maintaining high-detail spray characteristics.
HP-SBS Airbrush — This side-feed airbrush features a 0.35 mm needle and nozzle combination with a standard 1/8 oz side cup. It’s ideal for custom automotive graphics and murals, as well as for fine arts work that requires custom color-mixing and thicker paints.
HP-SBS Auto-Graphics Airbrush — The Auto-Graphics version of the HP-SBS features a 0.35 mm needle and nozzle combination, with a large ½ oz gravity-feed cup and a 1 oz siphon-feed bottle. It’s ideal for custom automotive graphics, murals, and fine arts work that requires custom color-mixing and thicker paints.
G6 Airbrush Kit — The kit includes the Iwata Eclipse G6 Pistol-Grip Airbrush equipped with a 0.6 mm stainless steel nozzle, a dual purpose air cap/fan adjustment valve for spraying round or oval patterns, plus a special airbrush bottle fitting that allows for quick color changes without cleanup. |

| This Paasche metal cup fits and works great on bottom feed Iwatas. It makes it a very versatile airbrush. It feeds well and can be rotated for any painting position or even twist so the brush can be laid on its side without spilling. http://www.paascheairbrush.com/products/airbrushes-airbrush-parts-a...

Location: Almost Heaven | If you want a Iwata Neo to just start out and not pay alot for a brush go to Hobby Lobby and use their 40% off coupon and you can get one for about 45.00 shipped. They are made on the HP line and are made "for" Iwata to compete with the other cheaper imports. The needles and nozzles are half the cost as others. It has a 5 yr. warrn. I bought one to give it a try after dropping my good Iwata. I am going to have 45.00 in just a nozzle and needdle to repair it. I will have 2 now and i can use which ever to get my "toys" painted. |
